One of the first posts in this blog was how to record sounds with Hypercam, a simple, lightweight and popular screen recording software. Well, this posts brings to you yet another screen recording software that in my opinion is one of the best screen recording softwares you can get your hands (or rather, your mouse) on.
In this world where nearly every website and software developer just assumes their customers are going to be ready with unlimited internet to download gigabytes of data from the web, there is little love for limited internet users who have no choice but to make 2 GB last a month. Open Broadcaster Software (hereby referred to as OBS) is one of the few data friendly softwares left out there, offering a huge amount of options for a download a little above 7 MB, and for free.
It uses a variety of separate capture streams that can be layered, such as monitor, window, image and game captures. So in essence, you just toggle the streams for the whatever you want recorded, and hit that start record button. Oh, and it free, so no annoying watermarks.
As mentioned above, it has game capture mode, allowing you to capture full screen games perfectly, filling one of the primary shortcomings of most small and free screen recording softwares.
The comprehensive list of settings can be used to tweak the recording to more styles than flavors of chips, and can suit any need and overcome any situation. From an on-the-go resolution reducer that works like magic to reduce video lag to an inbuilt codec (So you don't have to spend 10 MB on Xvid like you did for Hypercam) to built in high quality sound recording (So you don't have to go through the trouble of enabling stereo mix), OBS offers everything you can expect in a free software and more.
From uploading your FIFA gameplay on YouTube to show off to your friends to screen recording a PowerPoint presentation to play on a Linux with an open office that messes up the .pptx formatting, OBS might just be the best screen recording software in its range.

Oh, and did I mention that it was totally free?
